What the records say
In materials published ahead of the Dec. 1, 2025 City Council work session, staff planned to walk council members through key takeaways of the Pinnacle Economic Analysis and Updated Feasibility Study for the Sports Complex, Public Works Relocation and Waterfront Redevelopment project. The agenda bill described it as a discussion item only, with no action requested 1.
- The Dec. 1, 2025 City Council work session (7:00 PM, 501 Delta Avenue) was scheduled to discuss the sports complex, public works relocation, and waterfront redevelopment as a discussion-only item with no action requested.
- The financial model estimated total project cost at about $38.5 million, including $25.5 million for a 90,000-square-foot indoor facility and $13 million in allocated land value.
- The model projected operating losses in all four years: about $595,000 in 2026, $733,000 in 2027, $544,000 in 2028, and $385,000 in 2029, with projected annual revenue growing from about $97,000 to about $1.68 million.
- Staff planned to present key findings from the Pinnacle Economic Analysis and feasibility study, plus suggested next steps and timelines for discussion.
Why it matters
The financials matter because the city is considering whether to build a large indoor sports facility as part of a waterfront redevelopment plan. The attached model projects the facility would lose money in each of its first four years of operation, with cumulative negative cash reaching about $2.26 million by the end of 2029 before any cash infusion, meaning the operating entity would need outside funding to cover the gap if the project moved forward. Staff also planned to discuss suggested next steps and timelines with council members 1. The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.
